Thesis #6 is that the Humanities professors at ASU, and specifically in departments like Religious Studies, don’t teach their students how to know. They only teach about. If you take a course in religious studies, you will be taught many facts about various religions. You will be taught how religions answer questions like “what is eternal?” “what is it to be a human?” “what is the meaning of life?” but you won’t be taught how to arrive at true conclusions about those questions. In fact, it is likely you will be told there is no Truth only many different truths.
Implications;
You can get the same kind of education you will receive at the ASU religious studies department by reading Wikipedia or going to the public library.
Religious Studies professors can’t provide you with what they don’t have. They don’t know, and they produce students who don’t know.
When such professors do make knowledge claims, such as that men can have babies and it is morally good to engage in LGBTQ sexual behaviors, their answers are demonstrably false.
An education that does not teach its students how to know the truth of the matter about the most important questions that face us is not one worth spending time or money on. Look elsewhere. Find a professor who knows and who can teach you how to know.
I’m ready to publicly debate this thesis and its implications. We can do it on paper or in person.
